I have the original version, and the Ti is supposed to improve everything just a bit more. These are the best closed analogue of the HD600 I've ever heard (I had long experience with that headphone). Despite having a very open, balanced sound they isolate quite well and are easy to drive; they're my primary work headphone. I like them enough to get another pair in this drop.
Final note: they come with not one, but TWO sets of earpads (pleather + fabric) as shown in the final picture. These pads fit on the HE-500, and IMO are a large improvement on that headphone's pads. My spare set are on my HE-500s, and HE-500 pad alternatives can cost enough that this set of cans is effectively close to a hundred bucks at the lowest drop for an HE-500 owner looking to experiment.

JDWarnerGood point about HE-500 owners - too bad I no longer have mine to capitalize.
Have you found any good comparison reviews on the "Ti" vs. original from anybody other than the manufacturer? As nice as it is to see these on here / bring them down close to the price level of the original Fishers, the lowest drop + shipping still makes them double the current cost of the NVX original clone. So the obvious question is whether the velour pads and user-tested driver differences make these 2 times better than a pleather-only original clone?
As an aside, something I've never seen confirmation on - are the velour pads that come with the original Fishers also angled?

AB01Are the Ti velours angled? I can confirm the originals are not.
If the Ti ones are, I may have to steal those for my HE-500...
As for comparison reviews, they exist but are buried deep in multi-hundred-page Head-Fi threads.
